What does SSI and SSDI mean for you?

It is not easy to qualify for social security benefits in every case. Roughly 65% of people are initially turned down. Qualifying for social security benefits requires proof of your disability. Experienced Gainesville social security lawyers understand how to present your evidence in the most favorable light. The consequences of losing your social security claim can have serious consequences. Those who qualify get monthly payments to live off. In many cases, you can also get Medicare or Medicaid. These payments and other potential benefits often mean the difference between survival and homelessness for those suffering from disabilities.

Aren’t lawyers expensive to hire? How can I hire a qualified Gainesville social security lawyer?

Most people can actually afford a social security lawyer, even those without jobs. Most all Social Security lawyers work on a contingency basis: which means they only get paid if you win your case. Statutorily, social security attorneys can only make the following: the smaller amount of (1) 25% of back pay awarded to you, or (2) $6,000 total. The social security administration has to approve the amount of the attorney fees at the time you are awarded your benefits. There is no reason to contact an experienced Gainesville Social Security lawyer. Just fill out the questionnaire on the left.

Social Security: Qualifying for Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) or Social Security Income (SSI)

Two separate social security programs provide disability payments to injured people: SSI and SSDI (Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance). To earn disability payments under either one, you must suffer from an injury that (1) prevents you from working for a year or more, or (2) will result in death. Short-term injuries are not covered by the social security system.

If you have a work history of paying into social security, you may be eligible for SSDI payments. SSDI is a natural insurance program that pays those who are disabled and have a qualifying work history (the duration of your previous work depends on your age). SSDI recipients may also qualify for Medicare. Learn more by contacting an experienced Gainesville SSDI attorney.

If you have no or too little work history, are disabled, and make below a certain threshold of money, you may qualify for SSI. SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, is a welfare-based program. The benefits are paid out of general tax revenues and are not contingent on your work history. The monthly benefit provides a basic amount, which may be enhanced by your state. You may also qualify for food stamps and Medicaid. You can contact an experienced Gainesville SSI attorney by filling out the questionnaire on the left.

Applicants can begin the process in multiple ways: online, over the phone, and in person. The government takes around four to six months to review your case. If denied, you can appeal the decision. You may have an attorney represent you at the appeal.

The list below contains a few examples of the types of illnesses and injuries that have qualified previous applicants for a disability:
